-1	Maintaining 12% body fat is easy when you quit sugar Can you post the study for us mate? He absolutely reduced his body-fat as he lost weight. Yes, he also lost muscle mass (and presumably testosterone) because he was getting barely any protein. Obviously nobody should do it, he was only making a point concerning CICO. A balanced diet, preferencing high protein is ideal.	/r/TheRedPill	08/02/21 12:44 PM
0	This Article Will Infuriate You If you eat less, you must either burn less, or unpack the deficit from storage. But if you eat too frequently, you can't unpack enough from storage, so you burn less. There is absolutely zero scientific literature to suggest that feeding windows somehow overrule energy balance. As you reduce your mass, less calories are required to sustain your (new) mass. The downregulation in BMR/RMR has everything to do with your weight and nothing to do with insulin. So if your insulin never goes low enoug…	/r/TheRedPill	08/02/21 07:39 AM
1	This Article Will Infuriate You But then you go on to say this: That's why I can inject you with insulin while giving you less to eat and you'll still get fatter. How do you square that away with the obvious understanding that insulin doesn't create energy out of thin air?	/r/TheRedPill	08/02/21 05:57 AM
-1	This Article Will Infuriate You The problem is with the passive-calorie-box hypothesis is not that insulin is a mysterious substance that creates energy out of nothing, but that the body is an active engine that responds to stimuli. Citation please? How does insulin create calories (energy) magically out of nothing?	/r/TheRedPill	08/02/21 04:00 AM
1	This Article Will Infuriate You Totally agree that fats are more satiating and yeah, they're an essential nutrient but the quantity of essential fatty acids required for production of sex hormones via cholesterol is much lower than people think. Most people seem to get adequate fats through their proteins alone and don't require direct sources. You don't want to dip below 0.25 g/lb (0.5 g/kg) which for a 200 pound male is a simple 50 grams! Chicken and eggs, even without red meats will tick that box.	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 04:17 PM
1	This Article Will Infuriate You Mate there's no doubt in my mind that being fat-adapted and avoiding carbs makes adhering to a caloric deficit much easier. The point of my commentary is that the OP denies CICO and makes it out to be a hormone (insulin) issue, rather than an over-feeding issue. There are ways to be satiated without going keto too, like increasing protein and fibrous carbohydrates (veggies can provide a lot of satiety for such little caloric value).	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 04:11 PM
0	This Article Will Infuriate You It does, I mentioned that elsewhere when attempting to explain to someone how CI and CO are interdependent given TEF.	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 01:44 PM
1	This Article Will Infuriate You I tend to agree, I think Dr Norton often references a study where they equated calories and protein between a HCLF and HFLC group and weight loss was virtually identical. Edit: For everyone else reading, protein should be matched as an adequate intake maximises fat loss (indirectly, through encouraging the retention of lean mass - so weight loss is the same, but a greater portion is from fat).	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 11:44 AM
5	This Article Will Infuriate You Looks like I'm in full agreement with you then. Thanks for the back and forth, have a great day mate.	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 09:38 AM
0	This Article Will Infuriate You This Coca-Cola manufactured religion folds like wet taco when placed under the most basic sort of scientific scrutiny. Haha, I only drink diet soda. But I am looking forward to published papers disproving CICO!	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 07:36 AM
2	This Article Will Infuriate You Upvote and thank you for a thought-provoking reply mate instead of just down voting like the others - appreciate the dialogue. CICO works but its extremely suboptimal for weight loss. This is for three basic reasons: So you acknowledge that CICO works, but say it's extremely suboptimal. What is optimal then? I'll stagger a guess that it's a low carb diet, but question. If my TDEE is 2,500 calories and I eat 5,000 calories (but all protein/fat) will I gain weight? Genuine question. Low-carb works…	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 07:22 AM
4	This Article Will Infuriate You Calorie deficit to lose weight, period. Whether you preference higher carbs (and lower fats) or the inverse is your call. Hit your caloric deficit and get plenty of protein. Rest is individual preferences (some fiber ex: green veggies may help with satiation if you're hungry).	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 06:42 AM
1	This Article Will Infuriate You Processing depends on the form (macronutrient) of the calories. Proteins, carbohydrates and fats are all processed differently. You can keep calories the same, but change the ratios and have different effects on the 'calories out' part of the equation (ex: protein has a high thermic effect and the some carbs are insoluble fibre). Yes, your body burns a specific amount of calories each day (but this varies). BMR/RMR won't vary much, EA (exercise activity) can vary (if you vary it), NEAT (non exer…	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 06:35 AM
6	This Article Will Infuriate You Zero educational merit to it. Just your typical calories don't matter, carbs/insulin is evil and fasting is magic which we've all seen before. Ask OP to provide any study which demonstrated superior fat loss on a low/no carb diet when calories were equated between groups. He won't be able to.	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 06:26 AM
6	This Article Will Infuriate You Had a feeling this would be the same old "calories don't matter, carbs and insulin are the devil and fasting is metabolically magic" bullshit and I was right. I'm happy for people to be hung up on nutrition myths which have been disproven, just means as someone who tracks calories and macros, I can eat pretty much whatever I want (within reason) and still look great year round. Do low-carb advocates and people who are afraid of insulin know that protein spikes insulin...? Yes insulin will shuttl…	/r/TheRedPill	05/02/21 06:10 AM
46	How much grinding is too much grinding? Great comment. Law 30 sprints to mind: Your actions must seem natural and executed with ease. All the toil and practice that go into them, and also all the clever tricks, must be concealed. When you act, act effortlessly, as if you could do much more.	/r/TheRedPill	01/12/20 05:03 AM
1	Get that extra lean look I've manipulated carbs and sodium for experimentation when pretty lean, but it's not an 'everyday look' if that makes sense.	/r/askTRP	03/11/20 04:53 AM
2	Get that extra lean look You can liberate adipose tissue in a number of days, but considering that you're already relatively lean - it's a slow process and you're not going from 13% to 10% in a matter of days (think weeks). Sure you can cut carbs, drop water weight and be flat - but that won't mean you're any leaner (and you'd look worse off really). Being single digit body-fat (around 8% in my strictly anecdotal experience) is when you can see some pretty noticeable effects playing around with sodium. Obviously the les…	/r/askTRP	02/11/20 06:04 AM
4	Get that extra lean look You're not lean enough to benefit from manipulating sodium and you're not going to liberate any considerable adipose tissue in a matter of days.	/r/askTRP	02/11/20 05:37 AM
